The 17th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards was the 17th edition of the D.I.C.E. Awards, an annual awards event that honored the best games in the video game industry during 2013. The awards were arranged by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), and were held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 6, 2014 (2014-02-06). It was also held as part of the Academy's 2014 D.I.C.E. Summit, and was hosted by Felicia Day and Freddie Wong.[1]

The craft awards for "Online Gameplay" and "Connectivity" were dropped, and the category for "Online Game of the Year" was reintroduced as a "Game of the Year" award. The award for "Web Based Game of the Year" was offered, but no finalists were named for the category.[2][3]

The Last of Us received the most nominations and won the most awards, including "Game of the Year". Sony Computer Entertainment published the most nominated games, and had the most nominations and awards as a publisher. Electronic Arts had the most award-winning games.

Rockstar Games co-founders Sam Houser and Dan Houser, along with Leslie Benzies, former president of Rockstar North, were inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Eugene Jarvis programmer behind arcade games Defender and Robotron: 2084, received the "Pioneer Award".[4]
